Hello guys,

I'm about to throw my car back at the garage to be looked at again. It's never really been right since day one if im honest.

What it's doing ;

When stationary and I pull away, between 1st & 2nd gears (when it gets to about 20mph) the entire front end will judder/wobble. It makes the car feel very unsafe and untrustworthy. I also still get cabin vibration in 3rd & 4th gear (or at fast acceleration)

The garage I originally purchased the car from had it a few months back for over a week. I picked it up due to them not finding a fault with it? Admittedly when I picked it up it did feel better, felt tighter, gear changing was smooth and the wobble didn't appear to be as aggressive. Overtime (a few weeks) it seemed to be back to "normal"

I have warranty until April so I need to get this sorted before that really.

Could anyone shed some light on this for me before I get it back into a garage?

Liam.

 

Hi mate,
Not sure if this is the case here or not but i have seen a few people with st's report that there wheels are buckled or shaped like a fifty pence piece perhaps this could be causing the juddering.

 

Thanks for the reply mate.

Wheel's were tested a few months back when I got 4 new tyres. No buckles at all. It was doing it before and after the new tyres too.

I'm hopefully getting it looked at next week by a specialist garage that deals with ST's. He's had it before but after doing my lower wish bone bushes etc we ran out of time (It's 140 miles from my house)

Maybe this time we'll find something

 

my moneys on driveshafts! in my experience a very common fault on fords. (inner cv joints worn)

 

i know the mondeo suffer with clutch release bearing causing a judder dont now about the focus, try lower arms or maybe even an engine mount issue
